Ginger: There's a microwave pizza box that directs you to put any loose toppings on the pizza. I'm trying to imagine someone paralyzed with doubt about what he should do with a piece of pepperoni that fell out of the wrapping.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The learned helplessness is bad, but it's the melodramatic "I don't know what to doooooo!!!1!" breast-beating that really chaps my ass. Listen, dude, all you have to do is click a link. I'm not asking you to file taxes in three states or properly use "Tazdingo!" in a sentence. It is a link. You click on it. No, you can't click on it "wrong". Good god, man, did you have some kind of traumatic Goatse.cx experience and swear you'd never click on a link again so long as you live?

Jesus birthday? Because of your age? And the not crucified yet?
Basically an "IN YOUR FACE, Son of God!" kind of holiday, I guess. I can get behind that.

It is a euphemism for anal sex, and is also a fun thing to do while drinking.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
